I'm actually hoping that Microsoft manages to completely tank PC gaming in favor of its Xbox platform and Mac desides to take up the mantle as the gaming alternative...

If the developement costs of developing games on a Mac were kept low enough (which it should be because its all single source hardware), then there could a shift of the niche gaming market from PCs to Mac's, with the Consoles and what's left of the MS-platform PC gaming market on one side sharing multiplatform titles, and Mac games by small developers like sims and such on the other side.

It's probably not going to happen, if only because it doesn't seem like gaming is on the list at Mac and I'm sure MS is always going to be involved in my life in some way.

I really don't know much about these Mac things... I go to college and its all about 3dfx and PII, and I leave college and nows its all about iTunes and Xbox.

God, what happened to the world?

Cheers,
David
